Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility really excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned an A-. Few facilities performed better in this area. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

When nursing homes receive this type of grade in long-term care it is typically a good sign for patient care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids.
